TBH 'caught' uncles & Fuzzy's "nervous' syndrome. I thought he was ok already during ABC. But the strain between TBH & KKK doesnt help his syndrome


this is not the first time for him...:p
his debut is 2006...
2006 TBH only reserve, only played one game against US

[jasonmarc]

[eaglehelang]

Congratulation to Chn Women Team........

#players are hugging each other, that is sweeeeeeeeeet........:)

[Seasider]

Indonesian fans show their support and give a big round of applause to the winner of UC 2008 - CHINA.

[Seasider]

Indonesian President; Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is congratulating every players and officials on the stage...with the We're the Champions song in the background. This ceremony is indeed a memorable one....; just like Freddy Mercury says in the song "We are the champions..." , so with good sportmanships, everyone is the chapmpions!

[Bao]

I'm pruod to be indonesian, Its Great play by Uber Cup Team, (eventough no good play by Firda) but overall its the best result ever for INA with the Low Rank Player Like now,

You know all, LYB said its the most Thrilling Uber for him, so nerveus

He was just being diplomatic......only the WD....showed some resistant.....as for singles.....all one way traffic...and very predictable......;)

[je5s1ca]

I agree with Bao....well I just hope in two years time....the TC teams would follow their UC team spirits....I found that TC teams is really individualistic compared to their UC teams...
Now...I'm requesting that Women Double Final...if anyone record that lol

[gargoyle]

Few minutes after silver ceremony at transtv's mini studio in senayan

Still... happy faces :)

[Jessica]

Hmm...Anyone who have astro can now watch the replay between Mas and China..

[ctjcad]

Yeah it's 7am in the morning in California; I'll go to bed after eating breakfast :) . I've been having 3-4 hours of sleep every day since last Sunday to watch all the matches. I'm really exhausted now :(. One more night and it will be over.
(missed the live webcast, but probably didn't miss much)..
...it's Saturday, you can sleep in more, until the TC's Final festivities in about 20 hrs...;)

Congrats again to CHN's UC team. They did it in fashion, once again.:cool: For the INA's UC team, enjoy the moment.
As of right now, the women's power (singles or doubles) still comes from CHN.:cool:
With singles players, such as Tine, XHW, PHY, JJY (and KOR ladies), next in line.
Doubles pairs, the only real threat i can see now is from the KOR's LHJ & LKW.

I think LYB was thinking about the 'almost upset' by NED where China was one point away from possibly being wiped out by NED 0-3 in the Uber quarterfinals... :p

[chemile]

Congratulation to China, retain the Uber Cup for 6 times in a row. I also congrat to INA team. All players show high spirit eventough we all know that The Great Wall is very very tough to be toppled down. I am really really proud with you all, I think all of Indonesian people, too. It doesn't matter you lost, but in my heart you are the best... Specially for Lilyana/Vita, the match is really really interesting. Nice try, you may do better in Beijing..... Tetap Semangat!!!!
Gresyia, woww.... you are really cute and nice.. I like you ;)

[fd16n]

Good and expected final match, especially the memorable enthralling first double match which i want to collect the recording if any:) That match shows fighting spirit and great technique by both pairs. Crowd give great appreciation by staying much after the ties end eventhough home team is losing. Anyway congrats to China to win Uber Cup and Indonesia to reach final and show great team spirit

[masjoko]

[kinoko]

congrats to team uber china. awesome team with serious skills. on the other hand... team uber ina, U ROCKZZZZ!!!!!! big thumbs up to all. great play by vita/natsir. i reckon that was one of the best match. i must say team thomas ina could learn something from the gals.

on the other hand correct me if im wrong, were the ina guys team there to support them? i could make it there so i can only watch from tv. all i see was all the chinese players, the guys and gals standing there in a bunch cheering... but not the same for ina?... no?

[CLELY]

Vita/Lilyana almost shocked Yang/Zhang yesterday, they really showed all out performance, a top-level match was displayed by both pairs.

About the singles, yeah must recognize CHN superiority here. Maria and Firda have high difficulties to balance Xie Xingfang and Lu Lan. UBER Cup is still staying in China but INA team has created new hope with runner-up position for this time edition...

[badMania]

I am really proud of our gals! We know Team China is far more superior in their singles and rightly, they took the 2 pts from Xie Xingfang and Lu Lan (the decider pt to clinch the Uber Cup).

But, what a performance from Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir yesterday! They really pushed Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen to the limit. Full credits to them because all these while, they lost meekly to the Olympics and World Champions. This time though, they were up for it and even won the second set 21-19. In the third set, they were trailing 2-12, but, they refused to give up and against all odds, they managed to level it to 14-14, and even took the lead at 15-14. Eventually, they lost only because of slight lapse of concentration right at 16-15 when a shot was ruled out to let the Chinese pair came back to the match and won the rubber-set 21-16. Overall, it was perhaps one of the most exciting and intense WD match of the week and the INA gals deserved all the applause and cheers, even though they lost the match.

It was a successful Uber Cup campagin for the INA gals, under the guidance of Susy Susanti and Elizabeth Latief. Team spirit was high and everyone was in unison, regardless of winning or losing. However, the same can not be said for the INA guys. They really need to learn from the gals in this aspect :o:cool:

Yes, it was very interesting, had they won it Vita/Lilyana would have set a new record for winning while trailing with the biggest gap (2-11). But we noted that from midway thru 2nd game, Vita was tiring. From then on there were instances when shots were not getting picked up as both INA girls thought the other was going to take it.

..the INA's TC guys were probably too nervous to sit together and support their UC team (like other teams); maybe because they're the host teams??...Even after the INA's UC team's win over the GER team (in the Semis), we could see Pia going into the stand and hugging Markis and their relatives. Yep, Markis was sitting with his parents/relatives...:p;)

I am really proud of our gals! We know Team China is far more superior in their singles and rightly, they took the 2 pts from Xie Xingfang and Lu Lan (the decider pt to clinch the Uber Cup).

But, what a performance from Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir yesterday! They really pushed Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen to the limit. Full credits to them because all these while, they lost meekly to the Olympics and World Champions. This time though, they were up for it and even won the second set 21-19. In the third set, they were trailing 2-12, but, they refused to give up and against all odds, they managed to level it to 14-14, and even took the lead at 15-14. Eventually, they lost only because of slight lapse of concentration right at 16-15 when a shot was ruled out to let the Chinese pair came back to the match and won the rubber-set 21-16. Overall, it was perhaps one of the most exciting and intense WD match of the week and the INA gals deserved all the applause and cheers, even though they lost the match.

It was a successful Uber Cup campagin for the INA gals, under the guidance of Susy Susanti and Elizabeth Latief. Team spirit was high and everyone was in unison, regardless of winning or losing. However, the same can not be said for the INA guys. They really need to learn from the gals in this aspect :o:cool:

That's why Susi said that the girls should not be 'dianaktirikan' any more. They have proved their worth.

...she is the one standing, on the top row, 2nd from right. In the TV3 webstream, she's often seen sitting next to Susy Susanti.

She and Susy are also business partners, operating a Reflexology business in Jakarta.

Ohhhh, like that got see. She came out to hug the gals after they won Semi agaisnt Germany. I thought she's Susy Susanti.
The middle aged guy in the prize presentation (the only guy inthe pic you posted), is he chief coach/team manager ?
Oh yeah, also the guy with the moustache in Finals. He came up to the gals each time they finish a match.

That moustache most probably belongs to our Minister of Youth and Sport, Mr. Adhyaksa Dault.

Where will the next Uber cup be?


..(and according to news report) the 2010 Thomas & Uber Cup Finals will be held in Kuala Lumpur, MAS...:)
So, better get ready for another get-together, M'sian BCers...;):cool:

I just met a BWF official. He said 95% chance, it will be Kuala Lumpur 2010 Thomas and Uber Cup Finals... ;) BWF initally tried to separate the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup apart... but nobody wanted the Uber Cup. So... they said: forget it... the current system stays! :p

Yup, this guy, glasses & moustache.. I noticed him cos at one point during WS2, Firda's game, he was saying a Muslim prayer, like praying for the team :). And also at the end, during photo session, he was giving instructions, like some important official.

[huangkwokhau]

anyone using cctv? the women comentator sounds a bit like gao ling

Yup, that's him. Many people commented that before he prayed, we were winning, after he played, we lost... :o He didn't support badminton [financially] too much in the past 4 years in his capacity as Minister of Sports. Because he doesn't have a good relationship with Pak Sutiyoso, the PBSI head... :( Sad story but true... In the past badminton got quite a handy support by President Soeharto's budget. Now, not anymore...

2nd WS in UC 86 who stopped Korea in SF
1st WS in UC 88 followed by Sarwendah, Susy & Kho Mei Hwa
